At Gen Con LLC, our mission is to create the world’s greatest place for tabletop gaming. At the core of what we do is producing the largest consumer hobby, fantasy, science fiction and adventure game convention in North America, held every year in Indianapolis, IN. Gen Con, “The Best Four Days in Gaming,” is 60,000+ attendees, 500+ exhibitors, and 19,000+ ticketed events, operating 24 hours per day, in over 1.2 million square feet of event space in the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, and many surrounding hotels. Just as new technologies and a larger, more diverse set of audiences are driving change in the games we play and how we play them, we dedicate ourselves to creating and adopting the best tools and practices possible to support and showcase tabletop gaming culture wherever gamers gather, be it in the physical space of a convention center or in the digital space of our social media communities and streaming channels.
Gen Con seeks an experienced marketing manager to lead acquisition marketing and communication efforts for our annual gaming convention and our year-round operations as a leading voice in tabletop gaming and culture. The role is based in Seattle, but exceptional candidates in the Indianapolis metro area will also be considered. Candidates should have experience crafting media communications, developing relationships with strategic partners, and driving acquisition marketing, both for the event and its associated licenses and digital efforts.
Ideal candidates should have broad marketing experience, but also the desire to keep their skills fresh and learn new tools and marketing tactics as required.
Gen Con's corporate office resides in the Leschi neighborhood of Seattle, WA. Employment also requires annual travel to work the convention in Indianapolis, IN.
